U.S.S. STATEN ISLAND RAMS THE ICE.—Emil Schulthess, the noted Swiss photographer, gives a description of the taking of this picture in the new book, “Antarctica” (Collins). “I take up my position not far from the spot where the ship is likely to come to a standstill,” says Mr Schnlthess. “Commander Lewis shouts the order: ‘Full steam ahead.' I release the shutter the moment the icebreaker rams the ice. The bow approaches menacingly, gaps open right and left, the water cascades. I have no choice but to run as fast as possible. My erstwhile base is ground to pieces and disappears in the waves.”
